How awful for that girl. Living in a huge metro city we never allow strangers in our house.. car trouble, theres a pay phone on the corner.

We have had several "out of gas" stories over the years as we live next door to a gas station.... after the first time, we just say sorry we can't help you.

We haven't been doing much frugal or unfrugal lately. Car sharing instead of going in debt for another car. I limited my thrift store buying last weekend and gave 3 boxes of stuff away to people on freecycle instead. I did buy a banana holder at the thrift store for 90 cents... had just seen them advertised somewhere for 6.99. The only thing wrong with it is it was loose, took a phillips screw driver tightened the bolt and it's good as new... now my banana's actually have a home instead of being moved around on the counters.

Sales continue to go well for us at our mall, so that's a nice little extra source of income coming in.

Well I'm off to mail out some catalogs for work, will talk with everyone later.

Oh glad the gaiter issue was solved... here in Ohio we just call those head scarfs.
